Chapter 170: Misfortune Leads to the West
Lin Ziran didn't know if Jiang Xiaqing's plan to kill the Jian family was true.
He hadn't even been in touch with the other two.
But judging from Jiang Xiaqing's attitude, the Third Division was determined to go south.
Once the 3rd Division takes the initiative to abandon Chongguangcheng, then the Guang'an Army will occupy it, and what will happen at that time?
The Guang'an army will pass through Chongguang City, regain the plain area south of Chongguang City, and finally attack the northern part of Lianguan County.
This means that Lin Ziran will face the Guang'an army independently.
Stay in Castle Peak to resist? Although the five towns in the north of Lianguan County are hilly and mountainous terrain, it is almost impossible for the Guang'an army to kill them through the north of Qingshan Town, but there is also a Sanyang Town next door.
The northeastern part of Sanyang Town is the plain along the Luo River, and once the Guang'an army conquers the pass in the north of Sanyang Town, then the army can directly go south to capture Sanyang Town and even Qingshan Town.
When the time comes, it's all over.
If you don't resist, it is estimated that you can only directly join the Guang'an Army, but the ghost knows what the attitude of the Guang'an Army is, and there are too many uncertainties here.
Feng Haozhong wanted to win the struggle for power and profit, but it left Lin Ziran with a big problem.
Lin Ziran frowned and was silent!
I kept thinking about all kinds of gains and losses in my heart.
Lin Ziran even considered threatening Feng Haozhong, if they went south, he would directly lead the army to Nanguang City to intercept them, block them north of Nanguang City, and force them to continue to stay in Chongguang City.
But this kind of thing can only be thought about.
After Lin Ziran pondered for a long time, Jiang Xiaqing spoke again: "Our Third Division is in a hurry to go south, if you go north to Chongguang City, we will leave the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment in Chongguang City!" ”
The Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment is equipped with heavy artillery, 14-pound cannons and even 24-pound howitzers.
Now that the Third Division wants to go south, it is not impossible to bring this heavy artillery unit, but even if it is shipped by ship, it is very troublesome, and the speed will be relatively slow, and at the same time, the third division is in such a hurry to go south, and it is difficult to directly take the heavy artillery unit to the south quickly.
In this Luo'an infighting, it is unlikely that Feng Haozhong will be given time to slowly move south with heavy artillery troops.
Jiang Xiaqing continued: "Time is pressing, the vanguard of our Third Division has already begun to prepare, Brigade Commander Lin needs to speed up if he wants to enter Chongguang City, otherwise it will be too late!" ”
Lin Ziran said at this time: "How much time do I have left?" ”
Jiang Xia Qing said: "Five days, in five days, our last main brigade will fully withdraw from Chongguang City!" ”
Lin Ziran tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and then said, "Please wait a moment Brother Jiang!" ”
Immediately after that, he got up and went out, and said to his soldiers: "Convene an emergency meeting of the commanders of all troops!" ”
The war on the county side had nothing to do with him Lin Ziran, at most he was worried about the revenge of the Jian family in the future, but he didn't expect Feng Haozhong to directly decide to lead the third division south.
In this way, Lin Ziran was also in a dilemma, going north to Chongguang City?
Even if it is stationed in Chongguang City, even if it has the assistance of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, can it block the attack of the Guang'an Army?
Lin Ziran didn't know, but he knew that it would be difficult to block the attack of the Guang'an army.
Moreover, after he led the main force to the north, what should be done about the defense of Qingshan Town and Sanyang Town? What about Tsingshan Petroleum? Without their own army guarding here, wouldn't anyone else do something to Aoyama Petroleum Company!
But if you don't go north, after losing the barrier of the Third Division, the Guang'an army will take Chongguangcheng without blood, and then Qingshan Town and Sanyang Town will be exposed to the Guang'an army.
It will be equally dangerous when the time comes.
It's not going north, it's not going north!
Lin Ziran, who was difficult to choose for a while, directly called all his henchmen over to discuss.
After hearing Lin Ziran's brief introduction to the situation, Wu Guanlin, Xu Zhongshu, Wu Dajiang, Luo Mazi, Scar, Lu Sanzhen and others were all silent.
Even Luo Mazi, who talked a lot in the past, was silent at this time.
For a while, no one was able to come up with any solutions.
This matter is a dilemma.
"Don't be bored, say whatever you think!" Lin Ziran saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said directly: "No matter if it's good or bad, let's talk about it and discuss and analyze it together!" ”
Lin Ziran continued to speak: "Brother Wu, if we go north to Chongguang City, can we hold it with our strength?" ”
Wu Guanlin said: "Difficult, Chongguang City is the core of the Chongguang defense line, but this defense line is not only one Chongguang City, the entire defense line is almost four kilometers long!" ”
"With our troops, even with the help of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, it will be difficult for us to hold Chongguang City, let alone arm the entire defense line, but if we don't garrison the entire defense line, it is useless to only hold Chongguang City!"
This is why the Chongguang Line needed an entire Third Division, which, although strong, had to be garrisoned by sufficient men.
A defensive line of more than four kilometers cannot be held at all if there are not enough troops.
Hearing such a clear answer, Lin Ziran frowned even more, even if he wanted to go north, he couldn't hold it!
At this time, Wu Dajiang said: "Why don't we go to Nanguang City?" ”
I only heard Wu Dajiang continue: "If it is just to resist the southward movement of the Guang'an army, we don't need to go to Chongguangcheng at all, we can completely garrison Nanguangcheng, Nanguangcheng is also an easy pass to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense line of Nanguangcheng is shorter, even if our troops are less, we can barely deploy defenses." Moreover, if you garrison Nanguang City, the distance is also close, and the supply is more convenient, as long as Nanguang City is held, the Guang'an Army will also not be able to reach our Sanyang Town along the plain on the east bank of the Luo River. ”
Wu Guanlin immediately said: "In this case, we can only hold the east bank of Luo'an, we can't do anything about the defense line on the west bank of the Luo River, and the Guang'an army may bypass Nanguang City and go south directly from the west bank of the Luo River and enter Pingdan County." ”
However, Lin Ziran suddenly stood up at this time: "This is a solution!" ”
Wu Dajiang's words gave Lin Ziran an inspiration!
Go north to Chongguangcheng, there are not enough troops to defend that place, and the distance is long, the supply is difficult, and the most important thing is that you will directly face a large number of Guang'an soldiers, which is at least 20,000 Guang'an army.
That broken place is a fire pit to me, and jumping into it is a dead word!
However, if you only garrison Nanguang Castle and only control the area on the east bank of the Luo River where Chongguang Castle is located, although the pressure to hold it will be very great, but Pingdan County on the west bank is extremely empty.
On the one hand, there is the hard bone of Nanguangcheng that Lin Ziran is stubbornly defending, and on the other hand, there is the extremely empty Pingdan County, as long as the commander of the Guang'an Army is not stupid, he will not choose to smash Nanguangcheng.
If the Guang'an army wants to go south, Pingdan County is the best way to go south.
This time, Lin Ziran is going to have a disaster!
